Is it dropping lower in the same games you used to get 100FPS+ in or you noticed its getting slower the more newer games you buy?

Try upgrading your motherboards chipset drivers, install the latest ForceWare Drivers, install the latest version of DirectX, and try some simple overclocking.

DirectX
nVidia Drivers Page
RivaTuner OC & Tweaking Utility

Read your motherboard manual for whichever manufacturers website and look for some motherboard chipset drivers.

Also a good spring clean of your components might be due, after a lot of use dust and crap can accumulate inside your PC, which can hinder your airflow and be detrimental to the performance of some components, it's good to clean all this out about every 6-12 months.

Hope some of this helps
